California woman Laura Lee Yourex was arrested and charged for registering her dog to vote and casting its ballot.
She even bragged about her dog's vote on Facebook!
CBS News reported this quote from the Department of Justice:
The dog's vote was successfully counted in the 2021 gubernatorial recall election but was rejected in the 2022 primary.
She used her dog to vote twice!
It was the second one that got her, because it was a federal election.
(Apparently dogs voting in state elections is A-okay with Californian officials?)
Proof of residence or identification is not required for citizens to register to vote in a state election, nor is it required to cast a ballot. Proof of residence and registration are both required for first-time voters in a federal election, they said.
As a result, the 2022 primary ballot cast in Maya Jean's name was challenged and rejected.
With election rules like that does anyone wonder why Newsom didn't get recalled?
Yourex was charged with one count of perjury, one count of procuring or offering a false or forged document to be filed, one count of registering a non-existent person to vote, and two counts of casting a ballot when not entitled to vote.
If she's convicted, she could face six years in prison.
